here is another shot with the reflection in the window glass #1533232

These are both nice, Rita. I do think the reflection image is my preference. #10740731

Kalena Randall June 21, 2013

Nice ones, Rita! #10740815

Both are very creative, Rita. I like them both, but the strong light in the center of the frame shot makes me also lean to the reflection shot as my preference. I would give this one a little straighten work as I think it is worth a bit more effort. I like how the pole reflection weaves around the window frame. #10740835

thanks Jeff, Kalena trying to be creative one with the frame was just for the challenge.

Mike here is one I did with using the len correction on it. #10740841

Ooh these are interesting. I prefer the reflections and love how you framed the flag. I think it is still crooked or distorted. The top and left edges aren't parallel with the grid. I would give it another try.

The other post with the actual frame is really interesting too, but I am not sure I like the blurred effect towards the bottom. The sunset is really pretty, but I see what Mike is saying.

I give you credit for jumping out of your car with the frame! Great idea! #10740901

here is one using my guide lines vertical and horizontal with the bar up the pole and one running through the bottom of the flag #10740948

Hi Rita-I love the new crop for the framed flag-it looks great.

Is it possible your lens distorted the other picture? If so, straightening it will still leave you with that side not being parallel to the edge of the picture (right side now). I know with PSE, there is a "perspective" tool that helps even things out, but you lose a little on the edges when you do this. Anyone have any helpful tips on this? You are almost there Rita! #10740985

I was just wondering how Rita got that lensbaby effect in the bottom 3rd of her original post. I thought it worked pretty well, although as a composition the cropped version is probably better. #10741274

Elaine thanks for the input but this isn't a picture I will ever do anything with it so it is what it is.....

Stephen that is a blur vignette in color Efex pro #10741315

Good info, Rita. Thank you. #10741326

Great entries for the challenge. I have to say I like the reflection image better. :) #10741863
